Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!
Chapter 22 Old Lady Xu Begins
The head of the village reached out to stop Wu from saying the next words, and yelled at them to go back and stop making trouble.
Qu Jingyao also expressed his gratitude to the villagers for taking care of their family.
"As the saying goes, good people see good, and evil people see evil! Uncle Village Chief, don't bother with them." Qu Jingyao comforted the uncle. In their eyes, that's just...
"Yao girl, you grew up under our watch. How can we not trust your character? Don't you think so?"
The uncles and aunts in the village shouted loudly, and even the children nearby jumped and shouted, "Sister Yao is beautiful and kind-hearted!"
Not long after Wu's mother and daughter left, Old Lady Xu brought them back, and Qu Huaer also came with them.
From a distance, we could hear Old Lady Xu's earth-shaking roar:
"Liu, you are so unfilial! Oh! Come and see this unfilial woman. After my son died, you don't take me, your mother-in-law, seriously. You are such an ungrateful person..."
Liu protected her daughter behind her and frowned at Old Lady Xu who was running towards them. Is it true that a mother should be strong? It had only been a short time since Shusheng died, and the Qu family had treated them like this again and again.
Liu's eyes were firm and powerful, as if they could penetrate all obstacles. Qu Jingyao gently pulled her hand and smiled soothingly.
"Don't worry, Mom."
The people around looked at Old Lady Xu's aggressive look and immediately made way for her.
"Well, you Liu, you loser is a whole pig! You actually gave me a favor. Have you asked me, an old woman? Do you still have me, your mother-in-law, in your eyes?"
Before Liu's mother and daughter could speak, a villager who spoke up for justice shouted.
"Aunt Xu, didn't you split up the family?"
"If we divide the family property, am I not her mother-in-law? Can't I do anything when I see her squandering the family money?" Old Lady Xu put her hands on her hips and looked angry, with her eyes full of arrogance and unreasonableness.
Qu Jingyao raised her lips in a sarcastic smile and said coldly, "Grandma, have you forgotten what you said when we were kicked out yesterday? What happens to us in the future has nothing to do with you. Why are you going back on your word today? Grandma, you really are..."
When Old Lady Xu heard her words, her face suddenly darkened and she started to argue unreasonably. No matter what, she was still Liu's mother-in-law. If she dared to disobey her, she would be unfilial.
Qu Jingyao was really amused by her shameless remarks.
Liu held her daughter and stepped forward, her face showing great determination: "Are you my mother-in-law or not? Don't you know it yourself? Or do you need me to explain the matter..."
Before Liu could finish her words, Qu Hongsen and his wife Liu came quickly towards the crowd in the distance.
"What are you guys arguing about? Do you really not take my words as the clan leader seriously?"
Qu Hongsen, who was supported by Liu and came closer, had a dark face and looked at Liu and her mother-in-law with anger in his eyes.
At this time, Old Lady Xu slumped to the ground and began to cry loudly, calling Liu and the others unfilial.
"If you really think we are unfilial, why don't you go to the county magistrate to have a say. Is Liu unfilial or shouldn't she be filial?"
Mrs. Xu was startled by Liu's unusually tough attitude, and she even forgot to howl.
Qu Hongsen saw that Liu was thinking... Seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly gave a look to Liu beside him. That Xu was really stupid. Didn't she understand that even a rabbit bites when it is cornered?
Liu was also a smart person. She immediately understood and went forward to support the old woman Xu.
"Sister-in-law, you too, why are you arguing with a junior? Yunshuang is your daughter-in-law after all, how can she really be disrespectful to you? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the man up from the ground without saying a word, but the flash of disgust in his eyes was caught by Qu Jingyao.
She curled her lips slightly. It seemed like these people weren't really in harmony with each other. But she felt like they were afraid that her mother would really make a scene...
Old Lady Xu shook off Liu's hand, her drooping eyes flashing with impatience. Seeing the clan leader looking at her with a warning look in his eyes, she turned her head away and muttered:
"No matter what, I am her elder. She must be filial to me. Moreover, the family is in trouble now, so they have to help. What's wrong with me?"
After hearing what she said, Qu Hongsen wanted to go up and pry open this stupid woman's head to see what was inside.
Seeing her old man's face full of anger, Liu rolled her eyes at Old Lady Xu, then put on a smile and began to persuade Old Lady Xu. Seeing her expression and tone soften, Liu said to Qu Jingyao and her daughter:
"Yao girl, you are the younger generation, hurry up and admit your mistake to your grandmother. We are all family, so how can there be any overnight hatred? Yunshuang, you too, don't you know your mother-in-law's temper? She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu's face darkened and she began to ask Qu Hongsen.
"Chief, do you also think it's our fault?"
Qu Hongsen's eyes flashed with coldness, and he glared at his wife, silently cursing her in his heart for being more of a hindrance than a help.
He then sighed softly: "No matter who is right or wrong, Mrs. Xu is still an elder after all, she is your mother-in-law. You will still have to rely on the Qu family in the village in the future, right?"
Liu's hands, which were clutching her clothes, turned pale, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes. She turned her head to look at her two children beside her.
Qu Jingyao also noticed the hesitation in her mother's eyes. She leaned close to her mother and comforted her softly, saying that it was okay and they were there for her, so she shouldn't think too much.
"Grandpa, clan leader, what you said is wrong. Our family has been bullied to the point of almost dying, and how come no one is doing anything about it? Grandma just made a scene and asked us to admit our mistakes and apologize. What's the meaning of this? Besides, the family division document was signed under your witness, wasn't it? Are we unfilial, or are some people just pushing things too far?"
"What are you talking about, you little bitch?" Old Lady Xu immediately got furious when she heard what Qu Jingyao said.
Even the faces of the Qu clan leader and his wife darkened at this moment, and their eyes were full of displeasure when they looked at Qu Jingyao.
Liu suddenly shouted coldly, "Shut up! You keep calling me a little bitch. Is this what an elder should do? If you really can't tolerate us, then sever the relationship!"
"What? Liu, you have to think it over carefully and don't act on impulse." Aunt Cui Lian persuaded Liu with a worried look on her face.
Qu Hongsen and his wife, as well as Old Lady Xu, looked at Liu with surprise. They didn't expect that she, who had always been weak, would say this.
Qu Hongsen thought he had just warned Liu, and at least she would not act impulsively. He did not expect that she would be forced to this point by that stupid woman Xu.
"Clan leader, I believe I have done my utmost as the daughter-in-law of the Qu family, working hard and without complaint. But even this ocean cannot buy a stable life for my two children. Then what is the point of me being a mother? Shusheng is gone, and I can't even protect his bloodline, right?"
"mother......"
"mother!"
Qu Qingchen and his sister approached Liu and looked at her with heartache as she cried with tears streaming down her face.
